Growing Clips Series White Campanula Garden Seeds

Campanula is grown just as popularly outdoors as it is indoors. To grow Clips Series White seeds as an annual, begin seeds indoors 8-10 weeks prior to the final frost. But to plant as a biennial, sow seeds directly outside late into the spring for blooming early next year. Campanula seeds will germinate in 14-21 days with full lighting. Lightly press without covering 3-4 Clips Series White campanula seeds 12 inches apart in average, evenly moist, and well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Clips Series White is native to cooler, shaded, higher altitude climates, and will decline in the consistently hot summer months. Plants have no particular susceptibility to diseases, but do not overwater. Watch for slugs on outdoor grows and aphids on potted indoor plant. Clips Series White seeds are perennials that mature in their 2nd year as 8-10 inch tall bushy mounds with a 10-12 inch spread of 2-3 inch cup-shaped blooms.

Campanula carpatica, or otherwise known as Bellflower, is native to the stony mile-high altitudes of southern Europe, but has since naturalized throughout the rest of Europe and North America in similar cool climates. The genus Campanula earns its name from the Latin word campana meaning "bell" in reference to its internationally famous bell-shaped blooms. Beekeepers will maintain campanula plants for a significantly sweeter honey batch.
